Several different controller states are indicated by the LEDs as outlined in the following sections.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Adaptec RAID Installation Guide LED During Power-up During its power-up sequence, the controller passes through the following states in sequence, as indicated by the LEDs: Note: The address translation unit (ATU), PCI bridge, and cache module (if installed) must be configured and enabled before controller initialization can be completed.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 3 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Controller LEDs When the power-up sequence is complete, viewing the LEDs can help you determine the operating status of the controller. These LED patterns are also useful for troubleshooting. Refer to Appendix C for more information on interpreting LED patterns. LED Function 1 Indicates that controller is working and interrupts are enabled. During controller activity, this LED flashes four times per second.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 4 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Adaptec RAID Installation Guide ■ ECCERR (ECC Error)—Lit (red) when a correctable or noncorrectable error has been detected in a cache memory module. After an error has been corrected (assuming the error is correctable), ECCERR remains lit until the controller is powered down. Refer to Appendix A for the location of the LEDs on your controller.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 5 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Controller LEDs SCSI Bus Status LEDs – Adaptec 3410S Only The following bus status LEDs are provided: ■ TPOWER_A, TPOWER_B, TPOWER_C, TPOWER_D—Lit when termination power is supplied by the controller for the respective channels. ■ TERMEN_A, TERMEN_B, TERMEN_C, TERMEN_D—Lit when termination is enabled on the controller for the respective channels.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 1 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM C Troubleshooting This appendix provides answers to many frequently asked questions. If a situation occurs that is not covered in this appendix, or if these recommendations do not correct the problem, contact Adaptec Technical Support. When the controller BIOS displays the hard drives during startup, a device fails to appear. The power cable or the interface cable may be loose or disconnected.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Adaptec RAID Installation Guide The controller fails to respond and the IRQ LED (and possibly other LEDs) remains lit. The IRQ LED indicates that the controller IRQ assignment is pending. This usually indicates an IRQ conflict with another card. Verify that each card is set to a unique IRQ. Refer to Appendix A for the location of the LEDs on your controller.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 3 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Troubleshooting The controller fails to respond and various IRQ LEDs in the 1–4 range flash once per second. This LED pattern indicates an internal microprocessor error occurred in the controller. Shut down the computer and unplug all cables. Restart the computer. If the condition does not reappear, reconnect the cables and devices, one device at a time, until the faulty hard drive or cable is isolated.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 4 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Adaptec RAID Installation Guide The Adaptec controller BIOS reports a drive as a disk instead of a drive. This condition can occur if SMOR is used to disable Boot Enable. If you require access to disk drives connected to the Adaptec controller during the boot process, set Bootable Devices to Normal. After updating the Adaptec controller firmware or BIOS and restarting, LEDs 1 and 5 or 2 and 5 flash once per second.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 1 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM D Controller Reset Procedures In this Appendix ➤ NVRAM ➤ Flash Reset Mode 0 D-2 D-2 This Appendix describes procedures that you can use to reset your controller in the event the controller becomes inoperable for the reasons described below: ■ NVRAM Reset—The controller was improperly configured. ■ Flash Mode 0—An upgrade to the controller was attempted, but failed.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Adaptec RAID Installation Guide NVRAM Reset Adaptec RAID controllers retain their setup parameters even when powered off. These parameters are stored on the controller in an area of nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). There is a possibility that, through improper configuration, the controller can be put into a state where it hangs the system during start.
COMBINED RAID IG.BOOK Page 3 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 5:46 PM Controller Reset Procedures 2 Insert the Adaptec RAID Installation CD into your drive and restart your system. 3 Follow instructions and respond to prompts as necessary to get to the Adaptec splash screen. 4 When you see the Adaptec splash screen, click Create Driver Disk. Then, click the appropriate menu option. 5 Insert a floppy disk and click OK. The system creates the bootable SMOR disk.
